It's Alex Schomberg Week's Appendix!

Found one more cover from the crown prince of Hitler abuse:

While "The Grim Reaper" could certainly be doing a bit more punching, I like his work in the field of flag-trampling.

Art from the cover of Wonder Comics #1, with art by you-know-who.

Thanks to rcs.

So Long, From Alex Schomburg Week

Saying goodbye is so hard...



I mean, unless you're saying goodbye to those Dirty Ratzis.

But it will be tough to say goodbye to Alex Schomburg Week. I'll miss his clean linework, his dedication to Hitler abuse, and most of all, his hidden Mussolinis (okay, there's no Mussolini in this one since it's from 1945, but Goering is pretty fat and slovenly and makes a fine surrogate).

But HGP will be back tomorrow with another fist to Hitler's face. See you there!

I Don't Think I Can Parse This

But, note that Mussolini is once again making an appearance on this Alex Schomburg cover. Good eye, Olaf. Man, I even have to credit you on things I find myself...


Bucky and Toro whup the hell out of the Axis leaders AND some sort of weird Buddhist-Hindu-Mayan fertility symbol in Young Allies #9.

I Wouldn't Do That If I Were You...

Of course, if I were Hitler, I would probably punch myself.


The Black Terror, Doc Strange, American Eagle, and Pyroman are about to give Hitler a Stern Punching To in America's Best Comics #7. Art is once again by the legendary Alex Schomburg.

Reasons To Thankful, Part 3.

I'm thankful for a lot of things this time of year: friends, family, Batman, the fact that my fiancee said yes, etc.

But I'm especially thankful for Hitler abuse. Which means, this week, I am thankful for Alex Schomburg. And The Fighting Yank:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!

Except Hitler. Screw that guy.

I'm also thankful to Olaf, for being one of the main reasons I've been able to keep this little blog afloat for this long.

I Think I Have An Inadvertent Theme

I'm looking through my stock of upcoming pics, and I noticed a phenomenal number of Golden Age covers by yesterday's artist, Alex Schomburg. Clearly, he was a go-to guy for Golden Age Hitler-punchery:

So welcome to my ad hoc Alex Schomburg Week!

Also, is anyone else creeped out by Captain Freedom's lack of pants?

Olaf sort of tipped me off to a site that had a part of this cover on it, but I did some research to find the whole one. He gets partial credit today.

Taking the Pranking One Step Farther...

Yesterday, we learned that Bucky and Cap love to prank Hitler. But the Commando Cubs have raised it to an art form.

Those wacky scamps. Note the creepy symbolism of Mussolini hiding under the bed like someone caught in flagrante delicto, and try not to note the standard casual racism.

The Cubs cause calamity in Thrilling Comics #41, with art by the legendary Alex Schomburg.

I discovered this at the same place I found yesterday's entry.
